Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the finely crushed graham crackers, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the reserved egg white and remaining granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball and add a dollop of the cream cheese filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
Once baked, cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Top with homemade cherry pie filling once cooled.
